Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

<trolling>I find this thread amusing and somewhat like the "oil" threads. This is like asking what is the range of the Prius we own. It *all* depends on who is driving. Road trip example from Fort Worth to OKC. My wife will pull 58 MPG, I pulled 32 MPG. My commute time was also an hour less and my average speed was 95 MPH, whereas her average speed was ~60. There was a good stretch I was doing 110 for at least half an hour and spent the majority of my time over 100. She drives 6-8 MPH over the speed limit (wife is Thai and naturalized to be more cautious of police officer by her cultural upbringing). So in the end, it all depends on who is twisting the throttle</trolling>
I still think its a little different. Oil threads don't equate to much because people don't tear down the engine and check, it's more of a who's engine blew first lol. Getting a range on MPG isn't bad because you can take the lowest mpg and plan for that if not a little worse. I think everyone has spent enough time with motor vehicles to know MPG's can change based on riding conditions

Yes, yes I did and sorry....sort of.
Understood, but I did include all foreseen variables so we could put our heads together and it worked. I got the answers I needed along with some great additional fuel ideas. Met some cool new members and got to give LandofMotards a hard time, so it was all totally worth it!
I got in huge fuel trouble going across New Mexico late at night a few years back. I new I could make it all the way to Santa Fe with no problem, but a massive head wind brought my mpg's way down and the fuel light came on about 50 miles too soon. I got lucky and found a little Shell station in the little town of Pecos. Completely lucked out!

The trailer will carry another 5 gallons of fuel, camp gear, bedding... I want to run a fuel line to the gas jug on the trailer for a 7+ gal capacity when hooked.. My idea is get where you want to ride and use the rotopax to bobtail withNice. Just make sure you get some ridding in there somewhere. Moto-mule trailer?!....FabOneUp is now following you. That sounds fantastic! The Rotopax mount sounds so insignificant now.Is the trailer design all sorted out, or do you just have a vague idea?
